Duty of Care and Risk Management

Did you know that all your business vehicles are a ‘Place of Work’? Including company vehicles and employees' private cars

Legally, employers can be held responsible for the safety of employees when they are using vehicles on company business - whether or not the vehicles are owned by the business or by the individual. CBVC can provide advice and guidance, based on many years' experience and knowledge relating to the relevant legislation.

Do your Directors understand their legal 'Duty of Care' to their drivers?

Corporate killing and corporate manslaughter: in recent years the Government has stated its determination to penalise the directors of companies whose employees cause death while driving on company business.

Rather than your Directors having to trawl around for important information, we will send it to them and keep them updated of their responsibilities. In addition we offer services that support the legislation to ensure that all our clients take practical steps such as driving licence checking, and 'grey fleet' vehicle checks.

Driver training

Many employers have come to realise that their drivers need continuing training if they are to be expected to drive safely and look after themselves and other road users. Training can also save you money, with the potential for reduced insurance premiums, lower maintenance bills and better fuel economy.

CBVC can provide access to qualified and approved instructors once we have assessed your particular needs and have provided clear recommendations on the training that will suit you best.
